The one that comes to mind now is
The castle by Kafka. I had high expectations about it so I tried to keep reading for a while but the book just fell off my hands. I was quite younger when I tried to read it though, so I might give it another try someday.
The Picture of Dorian Gray and
Moby Dick are also high on my list. I still haven't got other the part in
Moby Dick in which he says that Saint-George probably did not kill a dragon but a whale, and that he did so while riding a seal. What the hell?!
Moby Dick plays a strong and fun role in the
Bone comics. The main character loves this book, and everybody around him falls asleep every time he speaks about it, or worse, reads from it.
